IT Security and data protection – reality lived by Funk

As a credible advisor in cyber risk management, Funk also consciously takes the lead when it comes to data protection and IT security. Funk manages confidential company data of customers and their employees. Data protection is also a continuous process for Funk. The measures already implemented can be summarised as follows.

Regular sensitisation and Training

On the basis of a specialized e-learning tool, employees are regularly sensitized and trained in the topics of data protection and data security. The program is based on several modules and is continuously adapted to the cyber Environment.

SEPPmail - secure and authenticated

Both the legal framework and increased awareness of the dangers of electronic data transmission mean that Funk communication consciously protects e-mail communication with customers and partners. With SEPPmail we guarantee the authenticity of the sender and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the message. The sending and receiving of encrypted and signed e-mails takes place in the familiar mail environment, is simple, fast and secure more than ever. We deliberately chose the award-winning Swiss software company with over 15 years of technology and application experience.

First Swiss client portal with ePrivacy certificate

Funk is also setting new standards in the area of data protection and IT security for the customer portal.

With the ePrivacy certificate, which was issued on the basis of a technical inspection by InfoGuard AG and a legal opinion from MME Legal Tax Compliance, Funk is the first broker in Switzerland to have an internationally recognized certificate. This confirms a very high level of IT security and underlines that the data protection requirements are being met.
